LEGAL
Cookie and similar technologies policy
Last updated 4 November 2026
Skyhat uses a small number of cookies and on-device storage to keep you signed in, remember your shopping location, and understand what is broken.
1. Strictly necessary
Sign-in session cookies issued by our authentication provider, security and anti-abuse checks, and the cart and location you store on your own device so prices, nearby branches, and your basket stay consistent between visits. These do not need your consent and cannot be switched off while the site works.
2. Preferences
Cookies and local storage that remember your town or branch filter, UI choices, and whether you have dismissed a notice.
3. Analytics and performance
Aggregate usage data that tells us which pages and product categories are used, and errors we need to fix. This is kept minimal, is not used to build advertising profiles, and is not sold.
4. No advertising cookies
Skyhat does not place advertising or social tracking cookies on its pages and does not run behavioural ad retargeting.
5. How long they last
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent sign-in, preference, and local-storage entries last between 7 days and 12 months depending on their purpose.
6. Your controls
Manage or delete cookies in your browser settings (Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all expose this under Privacy or Site settings), clear your app storage from the Android app settings, or browse without an account. Removing necessary cookies will sign you out and stop the cart and saved location from working.
7. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. We do not use personal data for third-party ad targeting, so there is nothing to opt out of beyond the controls above.
8. Changes
If we add a cookie category, we update this policy and its "last updated" date before turning it on.

This page is Skyhat's published policy, not legal advice. It does not replace the contract, invoice, or warranty between you and the hardware shop you dealt with.
